    @deanwballI want to explain something to you: People often quote tweet me and say "can you believe that an OPENAI EXECUTIVE is so dumb that he thinks tweeting like THIS is the way to fix AI's image problem?!?!?!" I was not hired by OpenAI to "fix AI's image problem," and I do not get out of bed every day to make you feel good about tokens. Yes, AI has enriched my life tremendously and I believe it will enrich most people's lives, and I speak of this often. But I believe a truly transformative thing is underway, and that some aspects of it will be incredible and others will be extraordinarily fraught. I want to tell you the truth about that transformation as I see it happening, to the best of my ability. The truth as I see it will not always be optimal marketing for the AI industry, nor will it always necessarily arrest the public's concerns. The public, very often, is right to be concerned. I am concerned. Most people I know who work at true frontier labs are concerned. Sometimes, I will feel it is my duty to describe to you changes I believe may be afoot in our world that will not be fun to think about or experience, and that cause me sadness and fear in my private life. I'm not here to sing you some lullaby about what is happening, and I wish people would stop trying to RLHF me into doing so. It is out of respect for those who read my words that I try to tell the truth. I've never seen so many people beg to be lied to and disrespected, but I wish it would stop.
